ALVIN L. FISHER, OF ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO THE CON- SOLIDATED FRUIT JAR COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

CAP FOR BOTTLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 558,375, dated April 14, 1896.

Application filed November 8,1895. Serial No. 568,294:- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALVIN L. FISHER, acitizen of the United States, residing at Elizabeth, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Caps for Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object to provide a novel cap for such articles as bottles, jars, cans, and other receptacles, said cap having a plate or disk supported by the top wall of the cap and secured by a flange on the spout of the cap; and the invention consists in the cap having the novel features hereinafter described and claimed, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in whiel1 Figure 1 is a vertical section of the cap partly completed. Fig. 2 is a similar section to Fig. 1, the cap being completed. Fig. 3'is a plan view of the cap.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now describe the same in detail, referring to the drawings, where The letter A indicates a bottle-cap, the body of which is of thin or soft metal, so that it.

can be readily drawn or formed integral with the flat or flattened top Wall E and the proj ectin g nozzle or spout E. The flattened top wall B of the cap serves to sustain a flattened plate or disk D, which may be ornamental or provided with descriptive matter. The disk D is perforated at its center, so that it can be slipped over the nozzle or spout E and caused to rest directly against the top wall B. WVhen the disk D is in place, the spout E is exposed to proper pressure, so that a flange F is swaged or drawn at the side of the spout. This flange F when formed secures the disk D in place.

By having the top wall 13 depressed or pressed inwardly the disk D can be neatly seated in the depression, and by having a flange or rim 0 surrounding the depression and bent or turned so as to clamp the outer rim of disk D the latter will be further secured. The plate or disk D may be ornamented or provided with descriptive matter in any suitable Way, as by coloring, enameling, embossing, or otherwise. The disk and cap with its spout can have any suitable outline; but the circular outline shown is easy of construction, although the sheet metal of which the cap is made can be given various configuration.

The cap may be a screw-cap or a plain or slip cap.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A bottle-cap, consisting of a metal capbody having a top wall formed integral with a nozzle or spout struck up with a laterallyprojecting flange arranged in juxtaposition to the top wall of the cap-body, and a flattened disk superimposed upon and contiguous to the top wall of the cap-body and held down thereupon by the laterally-projecting flange of the nozzle or spout, substantially as described.

2. Abottle-cap,consisting of a metallic capbody having a top wall formed integral with a flange, and a nozzle or spout having a laterally-projecting flange, and a flattened disk superimposed upon the top wall and engaged with the flange thereof and with the flange on the nozzle or spout, substantially as described.

3. A bottle-cap,consisting of a metallic capbody having a flattened top wall constructed with a surrounding flange O and aprojeeting nozzle or spout having a surrounding flange F, and a flattened disk arranged upon the flattened top wall and through which the spout extends, said flanges of the spout and top wall being engaged with said disk, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ALVIN L. FISHER.
